I know of several alternatives for you.  Perhaps someone else can provide 
you with details on how to locate them.

1. Contact a local library (college, university or public) and have a
literature search down for the awk programming language.  There have been
tutorials written in various Sun oriented and Unix oriented magazines 
teaching awk usage over the past few yrs.

For instance, the SIGPLAN Notices, V18 #12 - Dec. 1983 has an article
called "A Walk Through AWK" written by Leon S Levy of Bell Labs which
is very good.

2. Look for a document, which is available online somewhere, called:
"A Supplemental Document for AWK, - or -, Thanks Al, Pete, And Brian
Didn't Mention Much" by John W Pierce, Univ of California, San Diego.

3. Using gopher, go searching for guides to awk written at other colleges
and universitys.
